guest: john, i have to say -- it is john? caller: jim. guest: i have to disagree with that. the republicans won the house overwhelmingly and botched a few senate seats but it was a great republican and conservative year. that was only two years ago. i still think we have a center-right country. although after this election it looks more toward the center than right but indeed there are probably a lot of people getting things from the government but some are military and so i wouldn't be pessimistic at all. i mean, right now at this moment, they certainly -- it's a moment for republicans. that always happens when you lose an election. but the media, they have done this, the democrats, too,. the -- the media immediately says that oh, this party, it's got an identity crisis and it's got to self-exam. it needs self-examination and so on. it doesn't need much of that. the republicans have some problems. we know what they are and we better deal with them. the hispanics being one and suburbs being one. sometimes in senate races you just need people that are better at politics, bett

the assassination of john kennedy. host: independent vermont senator bernie sanders joins us from capitol hill this morning. thank you for being with us. should democrats be ready to walk away from the bargaining table, as you the congress, addressed this fiscal cliff? should democrat be willing to say, if we cannot get what we want, we are willing to go over the cliff, essentially? guest: we all want to do everything we can to see that the fiscal cliff is avoided. what we have seen in the past is a level of obstructionism on the part of republicans to say, it is either my way or the highway. elections have consequences. democrats had a strong victory, the president won big. democrats won 25 out of 33 cents in the senate -- seats in the senate. one of the key issues in the campaign was whether or not we would extend tax breaks for the wealthiest people in the country. virtually every debate, every statement the president made, every speech, he said, i will not extend those tax breaks. i think the american people voted

and also, john brennan, homeland security advisor to president obama. talk to us about who may be stepping in to fill the shoes of general petraeus. guest: well, you know, morell is considered sorted of the most likely candidate because, you know, having been the deputy director, he could relatively easily just step in to the directorship, very, very intimately familiar with the agency. the other people are all possibilities, but you need to remember that intelligence jobs have been a little bit hard for the obama white house to fill recently. you had director of national intelligence, jim clapper, nominated some time ago to run the overall intelligence operation and it was reportedly very difficult for the white house to find somebody to take that job. it was reportedly offered to several other people before clapper finally took it. so it would be interesting to see who would be on the list to do this. it's also a job where the white house, you know, has not given the c.i.a. director a huge amount of latitude. there's pretty strong control from the whi
